What is PPC Advertising in Cumbria

PPC advertising, short for pay-per-click, is an advertising model provided by search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo and some social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn. It is also the way that these companies generate most of their income!

The advertiser targets search terms / keywords that their potential customers might type into a search engine when looking for information or are interested in a product or service.

The PPC advertiser then writes a small descriptive advert with related copy and call to action which links to their website, and appears at the top or down the right hand side of the search results when the selected keyword phrases are searched for.

When the person who searched, clicks on a PPC advert, the advertiser is then charged for receiving the click. Hence "pay-per-click". PPC advertising is great for all businesses large or small because the advertiser sets their own daily & monthly advertising budgets, and will never be charged more than that. And of course, are only charged when their ads are clicked on.

What does a PPC advertising advert look like ?

Below is a screen shot of the search results page on Google, for the keyword search "google". PPC advertising ads can appear above the organic search results and also down the right hand side. A maximum of 10 per page.

On Google, the PPC ads have a maximum number of characters that can be used when writing the ads, this way all advertisers are playing on a "level playing field".

And because PPC is how search engines make their revenue, they always place the top paying advertisers at the top of the search results. Which is great being as most people who search, will not look past the first 5 to 8 listings before they find what they are looking for.

PPC advertising should deliver fast returns

Assuming the PPC advertiser has selected the most relevant search terms, has written a good quality advert which appears near the top of the search results, and has a great converting website to receive the clicks, they should see a healthy return on their investment (ROI) relatively quickly. There are of course other factors which can affect this, and that is why it is very important to use an experienced PPC advertising company to manage PPC campaigns.
